Wellness to the West Faces City Hurdle | Fresno News
Description
A small, volunteer-run wellness program in southwest Fresno is caught in a bureaucratic battle: the city wants them to pay $378 and submit a 15-page permit just to keep hosting free yoga, exercise, and massage in Kearney Triangle Park. With just 20 regular attendees and a mission to serve a historically underserved community with lower life expectancy and fewer resources, organizers argue wellness shouldn’t be a privilege with a price tag. City officials cite liability concerns, but council members say the permit system is misapplied and the city should be supporting—not blocking—community efforts. Determined to keep the program alive, organizers hope to find a way forward that keeps health and connection free for all.
